Sounds really ... unpleasant. I do remember something about your having an accident, but I don't think I knew the extent.
But, if, as you said, "
I know Lens Crafters sells some rimless glasses - but you don't get the 1hr service they have to send them out." Why haven't you just ordered them from Lenscrafters instead of going to all this trouble? I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what.
>>>I can get the lenes. What I need is the frames - which since they're rimless is just the ear a nose parts. Since there are is no rims around the lenes they're held in by drilling holes though the lens to attach the nose and ear parts. Most eyeglass places (like Lens Crafters) can't even make these because they don't have whatever equipment is required to drill the holes properly. I know Lens Crafters sells some rimless glasses - but you don't get the 1hr service they have to send them out.

>>How important is the 1 hour service after all this time? Anyway, when I get a chance (probably not before Monday now), I'll ask my own optician and see what he says.

>The 1 hour service is not important to me at all. Only time I would really care about that is if I had no glasses at all hahahaha. I have a pair right now but after getting run over by a car while on my scooter last October and breaking literally EVERY bone in my face the glasses dont work so well for me more. I'm sure its because after breaking eyesocket bones it causes the shape of my eyeballs to slightly change - thus changing my vision ...grrrrrr

>>>>I'm a tad confused. You want rimless, so that means you need the lenses. So that means you're looking for
round rimless prescription lenses somewhere on the internet?

>>>>I wish you luck, but I'm afraid I'd bet against it. At least with the wire rims, you can get the optician to create prescription lenses to the correct shape.

>>>>>>>>My head is a bit wide - he just made the lenses wider, and of course the frames are anchored to that.
